I can't speak to the reliability issues that people have talked about with this dishwasher, I have only had it for a couple of months, and everything is working fine. But as to how it works, this dishwasher is fantastic. I literally just scrape off any excess food and stick the dishes in and BAM before you know it everything is clean. I have put stuff in there I was sure I was going to have to scrub and rewash afterward, but this dishwasher handled them all great. I can't say enough about it's performance. I will try to remember to update at the 1 year mark about reliability, but so far everything has been great.
Update still works great, I have not had the latch issue, but I have been careful when opening and closing since I read the reviews. I am still very happy with the washer and it is still very good at cleaning the dishes.
Update 11-9-17 Washer is still working fantastic. I will admit that after reading the latch problems I have been careful with the door, I haven't had any problems with it. Although I pretty much do all of the dishes, so my advice would be if you have your kids doing the dishes, go over the problems people have had with the latch, just in case. I am still very happy with the washer.
Update 3-19-19 Ok so for the people wondering about reliability. The washer is still working great and I have had no problems with it so far. For me, it has been a godsend and saves me a bunch of time doing the dishes. I still have not had any problem with the door latch, although I am careful about closing and opening the door.
I installed myself no issues no problems. My wife really loves this dishwasher it's also very quiet. The delivery to my house worked out quite well very good Packaging period I would buy it. At first did not understand it it does not dry perfect dishes still come out slightly or mildly wet.. need to give an extra time to dry off at least an additional hour after the cycle is done
Alright, read through the reviews, got a little concerned, bought it because my repairman said it was good. The reviews on it not loading well are not true. It washes dishes... It does great, my dishes are clean, this makes me happy. Easy install too..
Arrived on time, was easy to install, and works great.
My 15-year old Bosch SMU 4000 died, and the research on a popular consumer site said that the top 8 dishwashers were Bosch (including this model). I also trust the reviews on Amazon, and was surprised to see the low ratings of the Bosch dishwashers. So I looked around (in person) at the other brands available and just dreaded buying anything else but Bosch. Several of the Amazon reviews had a low rating because the capacity is lower than the piece of junk they just scrapped. It makes sense to me that to make these dishwashers quiet they probably need more insulation, and it's not possible to make the dishwasher larger on the outside, so they may sacrifice some space on the inside. I accept that trade-off gladly. I did not research to see if the smaller space claim was true, because I don't mind if I have more frequent smaller loads. I liked the layout after I used it a few times, and seems very similar to my old Bosch. And it is quiet - noticeably quieter than my old one.
The Bosch reviews in Amazon are so low and the consumer reviews are so high, that it makes me wonder who is writing the Amazon reviews. In this case only, I am glad that I didn't trust them.

I bought this Bosch because of its high rating in Consumer Reports. I was replacing a Kenmore that I had never liked and wanted something of high quality.
One of the problems I had with the Kenmore was that the dishes sometimes didn't get clean. Even worse, they sometimes smelled funny (the dishwasher also had a strange smell when it was running). I am thrilled to say that this Bosch is an excellent dish, glass, and utensil cleaner. It is by far the best dishwasher I've had in terms of cleaning.
Another problem I had with the Kenmore was that the dishes were never dry. After using the Sanitize setting and a rinse aid, most dishes are completely dry. The only exceptions, of course, are plastic items which don't normally dry anyway.
The Kenmore also had a horrible mold problem. I think you're beginning to understand why I hated this dishwasher so much. I asked the installer about this, and he told me I won't have the problem with the Bosch because the interior is steel, not plastic. So far he's right. I haven't noticed or smelled any mold.
It's a nice looking unit too. Sleek and aesthetically pleasing.
The only complaint I have is that the dishwasher is smaller than what I'm used to. Of course, the reason for this is the extra insulation. The dishwasher is unbelievably quiet. There have been times I've actually had to put my ear to it to make sure it's running. The Kenmore was so loud we often would not run it if we were watching TV. The dishwasher's small size is not a huge problem for me because we don't normally use lots of dishes on an everyday basis. However, there have been a couple instances when I cooked with a couple pans and used several bowls and found I needed to hold out some of the dishes for the next wash.
Still, I was so glad to see that Kenmore hauled out of my house, and I can honestly say that I love this Bosch--this is the first time I've ever said that about a dishwasher.
